Famous quotes containing the words original and/or face:

    Presumption is our natural and original malady. The most vulnerable and frail of all creatures is man, and at the same time the most arrogant.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    And I envy the intransigence of my own
    Countrymen who shoot to kill and never
    See the victim’s face become their own
    Or find his motive sabotage their motives.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
